My take is that you should download Luna again, this doesn't take long,
then set it up again. Depending on how much customization you've done,
plug-ins you need to install, etc. This is where the time will burn.
Next, make sure you're launching your new installation (and not the old,
presumably broken one). Open the workspace(s) where your projects should
still be good.
That failing, then create a new workspace and open it in the workbench.
Import your projects (File -> Import... -> General -> Existing Projects
into Workspace). Unless your projects were corrupted, and that's not
very likely based on what you've recounted, you should then be back up
and going.
When I was a Windows 7 user, and my attitude is generally the same for
Linux updates, I just allowed the updating to go on automatically. I
also allowed Java to be updated that way. What I did to protect myself
from surprise changes, however, was to install my own private JDK and
peg Eclipse on it (via both eclipse.ini and the Preferences -> Java ->
Installed JREs configuration).
Hope this helps and I hope you get back up quickly.
